Devrukhe Brahmins - Original 98 Villages

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Apart from wiki and its mirrors there's no evidence whatsoever of the existence or notability of these villages. I'm not advocating a merge because there's no evidence these belong in the parent article (which has issues of its own) and it's not a likely search term for a reedirect.

 * Delete. Original 98 Villages are somebody’s original research. Could not find any sources, except wiki mirrors. Salih  ( talk ) 18:02, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Besides a blogspot that mentions there were 98 villages, and a mirror site, I couldn't find other references in English language. I checked out a handful of the village names on encarta.  I googled three of the villages simultaneously (Asave, Chandivane, Deuda: the first, eleventh, and twenty-first villages listed). I checked over at worldcat.  Maybe with DeepPeep or a foreign language translator, there'd be a hit; or maybe these villages are referenced in an old book; or maybe the article constitutes original research.  These things I don't know, but I do know that I couldn't find any acceptable citations. Rosiestep (talk) 23:57, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
